Deleted my Twitter account

 With the continual gong show of Twitter and the fact that it is much less than stable I finally deleted the account.

First thing I did was to request a full archive of my account.  After I downloaded and verified it was good I then asked to have it deactivated.  Following that I purged the Twitter clients from my phone, Chromebook and the third party client in Linux.

I was getting tired of seeing all of the hate groups and bigots getting reinstated and then posting with hatred, misinformation and intolerance.  Then there were the times I couldn't do anything as there was another outage.  The final reason as #MeNoSulk was in full bully mode and I don't want to take part in that type of social media site.  I created the account back in 2012, but it just isn't worth it.  I created an account in Mastodon and there is a learning curve, but the site is a lot more friendly.
